Erfurt Cathedral

 

 

 

Most of the cathedral is Gothic and dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, but the lower parts of its huge towers are Romanesque and belonged to a church built on this site for Bishop Boniface in 742. On 3 April 1507, Martin Luther was ordained a priest here.

Zum Breiten Herd

 

The Haus zum Breiten Herd in Erfurt is said to have been commissioned by the city bailiff and councilor, Heinrich von Denstedt, in 1584. The polychrome facade design of the Renaissance was reconstructed in 1968. On the facade's first floor are personalized representations of the five senses.

Town Hall

 

The town hall in Erfurt "enjoys a central location on Fischmarkt, one of the finest squares in Erfurt.

Built between 1870 and 1874, the neo-Gothic building accommodates the administrative offices of the local government, but also doubles as a tourist attraction and a venue for concerts, lectures, receptions and weddings.

The staircases and the great hall are decorated with a series of highly regarded wall paintings, which depict myths and legends, and historical scenes from Erfurt and the wider region.

The banqueting hall is a special venue with a charming ambience for an exceptional event." -- www.erfurt.de
